Hi, for over a year now I've been experiencing pain behind my ear its actually in my head , a year ago the pain was intense I visited my Dr she said the inside of my ear looked very inflammed and prescribed antibiotics these didn't work so back I went again different Dr said my ear drum looked a bit closed & pescribed a steroid nasal spray this didn't get rid of the pain behind my ear .. I was also having a troublesome wisdom tooth the Dr said maybe this was the cause I had the tooth extracted as it was painful but I'm still getting the occasional apin behind my ear its not as intense as it used to be its bearable in the sense that I don't need a pain killer . I have seen yet another Dr who described the inside of my ear as looking pink she has done a referral to ENT . I'm going to hold my hands up & say I used to use cotton buds which I don't buy any more , I'm just wondering if they have been the cause of my problems . Has anyone had pain behind the ear?? I am worried sometimes the inside of my ear feels itchy but no way am I scratching it ..
